All major brands of shoemaker are good, most important is finding the right shoe for your feet.
Features like, thickness of cushion, weight, arch type, are all important when buying a pair of running shoe.

If I remember correctly puma had a catalog that charts their running shoe models with amount of arch support and also details which kind of pronation it is designed for.

Newton performance Trainer Gravity

Mizuno Wave Rider, Asics DS Trainer and Saucony Triumph work best for me after going through many models over the years. If you feel like running light, I recommend Saucony Kinvara.

I am not sure about Newton. Nimbus is not bad, but too bulky. Get DS Trainer. You should be happy.with it.

[lunarin79]

yes, my fren mentioned nimbus is slightly heavier as compared to DS Trainer.

But i land heavy each step so I thought I might be requiring more cushion, tried on Nimbus during lunch & it felt pretty comfy, have yet to try DS Trainer & Newton Gravity yet but Newton shoes are more for forefoot landing it seems.

tried Saucony just now, yes, light & more suited for short distance runs I feel

N***ton is for forefoot landers. Not suitable for people like me, who lands on last three quarter of my foot. I have a friend who die die want to wear this and kenna serious knee cap problem.

[lunarin79]

hmmm, i dun usually land on forefoot myself either, unless I am sprinting

in this case, Newton might be my last option.

I try to land on heel first in most cases

I strongly recommend Newton running shoes and you will never regret!!!

Newton shoes are excellent for off-road, cross-country and rubberized track. But for road or cement track running (most common terrains in Singapore), they may cause injuries to the muscles and joints due to inadequate cushioning and support. I personally have seen a few of my running friends ended up in Sports Medicine offices because of Newton shoes. One of them has to take long-term pain medication even. Also, their soles are among some of the least durable in the market.

This is very serious. Knee cap operation is not cheap in Singapore, unless go China.

Not advisable to run barefoot in Singapore, as I often see broken glass and sharp objects on the floor.

I weigh 116kg and a heel striker. I am a heavy pronator (toe out). I have permanent ankle injury sustained during NS (certified by doctors). I walk and jog with Asics Kayano Gel 17 and 18 (I alternate between both shoes) twice a week (trying). I love both Gel Kayanos but prefer 17 more. Other shoes which I have worn and liked were Asics GT-2000 series, Mizuno Wave Nirvana series, Mizuno Wave Creation series, New Balance 500 series and Saucony Stabil CS series.

if wanna get asics, go to their distributor warehouse at genting lane. opens alternate sat. definately cheaper than getting at queensway.

used to be on DS trainer. unless you are running more than 10km each time, else i think kayano is out for you. DS trainer might be more suitable.

do get a feel of the shoes before committing. i once thought asics was the brand for me until i tried adidas and new balance. Currently rotating between adidas feather, and 2 NB minimus..

[lunarin79]

guess i will be doing 5km(6km, 8km) progressively for a start then 10km will be average distance in future.

Going for a run tomorrow morning wearing Saucony Triumph. Rotating wear my 4 pair of running shoes.

The reason to go Queensway is so that there are more selections to try and choose from. Actually, if you know the shop well, they will give you further discount.

And after buying our shoes, we can go Sterling Road food centre for a famous chicken rice feast. Bear in mind the stall closes on Mondays.
